Newark has such historical and beautiful buildings. These cookie cutter apartments from Harrison don’t seem to be good enough for Newark in my option. Love seeing Newark grow though.

Yeah they are built to optimize return on investment and not to fit in with the character of the city. They are everywhere too, so cities are just starting to look the same anywhere there is a commuter rail or highway. Saw similar all the way down to Florida on a train trip, and then just cookie cutter houses along the highways down there. Lots of capital and people just crunching numbers to figure out where to build.
